The Soldiers Orphan Schools.

The Harrisburg Telegraph says that
the regular appropriation for the Sol
dieTs' Orphan Schools was made by the
House. although ''niDe-tenths of the
House believe that the management has
been illegal, inefficient and dishonest. -
The schools, unfortunately, are in exist
ence. and the faith Of the State is pledg-
ed TO their supp1r- but the appIOpria-
tiOu wisely repeats the existing mandate
fsI closing the schools absolutely in 1890,
aud for admitting no children after June
Of the present year.
The founding of the Soldiers Orphan
schools was patriotic and beneticent
ACT of he = ate. aud il was mUs5 geneT-
Gus in naming sixteen years as the
period Of iheIr existence. A free school
for the orphans of soldiers extending
sixteen years after the war. was liberal
to .he last degree ; and they would have
closed at that time with unstained
honor 10 the State but for the greed OF
political jobbers who played upon the
popular appreciation o: our gallant de-
tenders of the Union 10 cheat and dis
honor the Commonwealth. The period
for the existence of the schools was
extended finally 70 1890, full twenty
& ve years after the war, and there could
be no reason for such extension founded
in Just public policy, save the desire to
cheas children and rob the State.
Instead of closing with bright record
of the patriotism and benoficence Of the
people of the State, the Soldiers Orphan
Schools will close in 1890 stained and
bIistered by jObbery and the good Of the
past cIouded by shadows of misrule and
theft. Governor PattisOu did much to
rescue the schools from jobbers, and
Governor Beaver, himself a gallant sol
dier. will doubtless do his full part to
bring them under hOnesJ and cTeditabie
direction. The fraud Of the extension
of the schools caE'J be ended before
1890 hut honesty aud generous care of
the children can be enforced by Cover
nor Beaver. and we have faith shat he

Mr.. WILLIAM O'BRIEN, editor of Unl-
ted Ireland, who comes TO this country
for the purpose of eniigh ening the Ca
nadians on the character of Lord Lands
down, their Governor General and his
mode of pressing ev1ctions in Ireland,
landed in New York on Monday night.
The Cunard steamer. Umbria, on which
he was a passenger was detained by a
dense fog about forty miles out from
New York and on Monday night, the
Irish Committee Of Welcome chartered
a small steamer and went out on the
hunt of the big steamship, which they
finally found, and Mr.. O'Brien, was
transferred and brought to the city
where he received an enthusiastic recep-
tiOn. An address of welcome was ready,
and replied to by Mr.. O'Brien, in which
he spoke of the Irish spirit which it was
impossible to come in contact with
without feeling that Ireland,s cause was
immortal and uncOnquerable. While
he would not then make anything Of
speech, be would say that he was en-
gagged upon what was, to some extent,
perhaps, dangerous mission. Lord
Landsdowne had been chosen by the
landlords as the pioneer and champion
of that body in the work of extermina-
tion. They had not been able to stem
the torrent of eviction, but they had
been able to protect the tenants who
had the pluck to adopt the plan Of cam
paign and stand by it.
Five hundred poor tenants had been
evicted in three mouths of this year in
Ireland, but not one who had adopted
the plan of campaign had suffered, be-
caus. the, tenants were fed and main
tained our of the landlords rents as
long as a penny remained. The conse-
quence was that they had made evictions
expensive.
Lord Landsdowne ha made the
Lugacurran case.a test case, and he had
come here TO make il test case, TOO,
aud TO meet him on the steps of his own
,L.1ae. If Lord LensdOwne hought
b ou}d carry on these evictiOns he
(Ir. O'BIieu) thought there were
million of Irish Canadians who would
want to know the reason why. He
asked the Canadians TO be the judges.
He then referred to the ;Tying time in
Ireland at present, but be thought they
had = leader on whom they could rely
Charles Stewart ParneI. Never before
were the people OF Ireland 50 hopeful,
and never before were the enemies in
such dismay.

The New York Star in commenting
OF the election hold in Montgomery,
Alabama, which resulted in in a Demo-
cratic triumph says 1T derives special
significance from the fact that a large
Democratic Colored vote was poled.
The opposition was formed by cOmbi-
nation between Republicans and Inde-
peudents, and it was supposed that the
alliance would secure the support of
coIored citizens. This instance is one
OF recent illustrations Of the breaking
down of the color line. The desirable
change is not confined to the South.
The course of the President regard
ing the Recordership of Deeds of the
District of Columbia has made thousands
of friends for his party. The cOIored
people have learned TO discrlmi nate be-
tween the value of Democratic perform
ances and Republican prom ises, and the
Democratic candida ties will poll no small
proportion of he coIored vote OF the
country at the next Presidential election.
Those who opposed the Presidents
nomination for the place vacated by Mr..
Douglass will have occasion to regret
their narrowness and TO acknowledge
the breadth as we'll as the sincerity of
Mr.. Cleveland's statesman ship.

IN the Court of Common Pleas at
Harrisburg, on Monday, in the suit of
the Commonwealth against ex-State
Treasurer Bailey to recover the SIC. 600
of the States money lost through the
failure of the Exchange Bank of Brad.
ford while Bailey was State Treasurer,
Judge SimOuton handed down an opin-
ion against the ex-State Treasurer.
Bailey had deposited the money in the
bank upon a bond given by the officers
of the bank indemnifying him against
less. After the failure Of the bank ne
set up the deten e that he was not La
bic, for the reason that the State had
provided no vault for the safe keeping
Of the public funds and that the State
Treasurer is not liable for the loss Of
money deposited in banks under the
Acts Of 1874 and 1876, permitting the
deposit OF State funds in banks of good
standing. II was declared at the time
Of the failure by the Republican poiiti-
clans that the State would loose nothing
by the failure. but it seems to be to the
credit Of the Court instead of the ex-
State Treasurer that the State will not
suffer by the failure Of one Of their pet
banks.

The Philadelphia Times takes this
view Of it: "The seusationaIisJ who
started the story that Cleveland had de-
cided to decline a denomination next
year. has done a good service for both
the President and the country. He pre-
cipitated a general discussion of the
quest tiUn OF Clevelaud's re election in
every State and Territory of the Union.
and that discussion developed every spe-
cial element Of strength and weakness
of the administration. It also led to A
very free discussion Of the serene bust
ness situation under President Cleveland
and the general faith in his cCnserva-
tive policy. II was a sudden taking
account of political stock, so TO speak.

dates, in which Cleveland figures great

Privileged Classes.

\ contemporary insists that &" in this
country the laws do not recognize OF fos-
Ter privileged classes - and that nothing
needs TO be done to insure greater de-
gree Of equality in rights and privileges
than our citizens now eUjOy.
This is quite too sweeping a claim.
There is no equality IN the condition or
things which makes it impossible for
poor man to be elected Mayor of New
York, or a Representative in Congress,
or a Senator OF the United States. The
first question asked concerning candI-
date for office, particularly IN cur large
cities. is How much can he put mp ?'
When offices are bought rich men are
thereby constituted d privileged class.
When the money of corporations or of
railway kings is used to promote the
election OF one mar and to defeat the
success of anot her, the equality of ciJi-
Zeus before The law is destroyed.
As parties are at present organized
aud managed the professional politicians
are a privileged c ass. y They cOntr oil
ths primaries, run the election mdchjp-
cry and practically dictate who shall fill
the offices. Their opposition to the re-
form law is due TO what they regard as
an interference with their right" to
say who shall be appointed to the subOr
dInaJe positions.
The laws recognize and fOst eT
privileged classes" when they permit
one set of manufacturers to charge from
20 to 50 per cent. more for their products
than they would be aDle to do but for
protective tariff TO that amount on for
eign goods such as they make. There
are no doubt some cOmpensating advan-
tages for this system of favOTitism but
the small percentage Of citizens who are
the beueficiaries of this system undenia-
bly, constitutes a privileged class.
The conditions are more nearly equal
in this glorious country than elsewhere
in the world, put there is a call to resist
the beginnings of PlutOcracy, the as
sumptiocs of politicians, and the prOlOn-
CATION of war taxes for private benefit
